Section 12 Warehouse
The off-road vehicle filled with fuel went north and drove out of the city.
"In a few months, the weather will get colder. The efficiency of solar power generation must be reduced by at least half. There is a coal factory in the western suburbs, next to it is a train transfer station. We'd better get a truck and store more winter fuel."
"Many things in the supermarket have rotted and deteriorated. Most of the foods that can be eaten are rice, noodles and canned food. This is not possible. If possible, we should build a new base outside the city, grow vegetables, or make something else..."
Xinyan and the old man were talking all the time. Su Hao held the steering wheel and occasionally inserted a few words. The fear and despair in the early stages of the virus outbreak were no longer visible on their faces, and only the calmness and calmness after experiencing disasters. The old man was born because of the precipitation of age and years, while the girl experienced the cruel and bloody battles personally and became more mature.
Along the river flowing from the center of the city, crossing the unfinished ring road to the north, the off-road vehicle stopped in front of an open iron gate on the side of the road.
It is located on the edge of the city. There is a construction site under construction nearby. The elegant greening sales center is on the east side of the intersection. The luxurious decoration style is in sharp contrast to the reinforced concrete foundation that has just been built on the scaffolding and not even the safety net has not yet been set up. A little further away, there are large fields, most of the crops are corn, and slightly yellowed wheat.
In the distance, there are still zombies shaking. They have replaced humans and become one of the most numerous creatures in the world, almost everywhere.
Su Hao jumped out of the car and pushed open the iron gate. A courtyard with several warehouse-style buildings covering an area of at least thousands of square meters suddenly appeared in front of him.
The entrance of the warehouse is facing the iron door. Under the eaves that were shining by the sun, there was an unrecognizable mummy sitting. The flesh on his body was almost gnawed, and the spine supported the skull to not fall. There were scattered bras soaked with dirty blood, which were already dry and hard, and a high heeled shoe covered with dirt. With these things, it can be concluded that the deceased was a woman.
Su Hao swung his axe and smashed the iron chains tied to the warehouse door handle a few times. He pushed open the heavy sliding rail steel door hard and asked Xinyan to drive the car in.
On the inside of the warehouse, dozens of bulging woven bags were neatly stacked. The old man walked over, approached, and buckled through the gap of the bag with his hands, and shouted in surprise: "Rice, this is rice."
Su Hao nodded with a smile, carried the battery, walked to the corner of the wall south of the warehouse, turned on the power, and pressed the green switch on the console hard. As the motor and the gears hit hard, the flat ground suddenly separated to both sides, revealing an inclined ramp that was more than ten meters wide.
The inside of the passage was very dark, revealing a fearsome chill.
The battery has limited energy and cannot supply enough electricity to the entire facility, nor can it maintain lighting.
Su Hao opened the car door and entered the cab. He glanced at the shocked old man and girl. He turned on the headlights, stepped on the clutch hard, and slowly drove into the ramp.
......
Returning to the past from the future world, Su Hao certainly needs to take various response measures.
The weapons and potions in the supply box are just the most basic equipment. While selecting the city where the prototype potions are lost as the transmission and landing point, Su Hao also frantically checked all information related to the city through various channels on computers and libraries.
In the 1950s, World War II had just subsided. No one knew whether the war broke out again. The new state regime spent a lot of manpower and resources to build a large number of underground shelters and air raid shelters.
The predecessors could never imagine the changes in the times that followed. The long-term peace caused the underground facilities that were originally used to resist wars to gradually become deserted. In order to make reasonable use of resources, most of them were rebuilt, landfilled, or converted to it. The warehouse in front of them was built by a merchant who added ground facilities based on the old shelter rented.
The quality of the project in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was incomparable to the sturdiness of similar buildings in later generations. Although a long time had passed, the groundwater extraction pipeline was still unobstructed, and the small solar power system set up by the merchants on the ground was enough to maintain the operation of the ventilation system. After waterproofing and leakage treatment, the temperature of the underground warehouse was low, but it was very dry. So when the off-road vehicle entered the underground warehouse, the three people appeared in front of the three of them neatly stacked in stacks and countless grain bags in tons.
Old man Song Zhizhong stood blankly, his face full of disbelief. He tried hard to swallow his throat and asked with difficulty: "There are... all...they...how many of them are here?"
Although the words were vague, Su Hao still understood what the other party wanted to express. He recalled the data he had seen in the waste documents of the library in the future and said seriously: "There are five standard warehouses in total, each with a capacity of 200 tons. The warehouse capacity of the ground part is the same as here, but the reserved food is not as much."
According to the information, after the merchant converted the shelter into a warehouse, he imported 3,500 tons of high-quality rice from Thailand. Some of them were directly put on the market, and more than 1,600 tons of them remained in the warehouse. It is precisely because of this that the application materials for entry into the computer were entered into the computer and became historical archives that can be viewed decades later.
"The small power generation system on the ground can be repaired, and the nearby well water can be directly consumed. It is very hidden here. If the power is disconnected, no one knows the location of the underground entrance. If an emergency occurs, this is our second refuge."
The old man took a deep breath and sat down slowly with the cement pillar next to him. He needed time to digest this information and to smooth out his heart that was beating too fast. At this moment, he had no idea of taking all this for himself, only infinitely heavy responsibilities.
"You... shouldn't have told me this. At least, I should have said it later."
Su Hao understood the hidden meaning in the old man's words. He smiled faintly: "We should trust each other."
The old man was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and his eyes towards Su Hao became even gentler. He sighed: "You have done a lot for us... so much."
Su Hao shook his head disbelief and said nothing.
Xinyan stood beside her, her eyes flashing with a glimmer of light, and she slowly laughed.
......
Starting the day before yesterday, the three men in the small building began to be responsible for different divisions of labor.
Su Hao brought Tao Yuan and Xinyan to the suburbs and spent a whole day teaching them how to use several existing guns. He also used wine bottles and other objects as targets for live-fire training.
He used the method of taking turns to teach everyone in this team to learn to shoot, and even Li Xiaomei, who was still breastfeeding, was no exception.
Perhaps because of gun control during the civilization period, survivors were very curious about these unfamiliar weapons. However, boring training quickly eroded their enthusiasm. The heavy guns made their arms sore and numb, and the long-term arms raised movements were monotonous and boring... If it weren't for the trigger several times at a distant target, no one would have relied on this puppet-like movement in the scorching sun.
Su Hao knew very well that not everyone could become a qualified soldier. Moreover, most of the team members were elderly, weak, women and children. But no matter what, they had to learn to use firearms, know how to shoot, and have experience in live ammunition operation.
The gunshots did not appear abrupt in the open wilderness. Survivors had to receive training every day. Tao Yuan and Xinyan made rapid progress in this area, and Su Hao was able to free up his hands. When they were busy, they would act as coaches for others.
Considering bullet consumption and wear of parts, shooting training can only be carried out for up to two weeks. Despite this, it is expected that at least 800 rounds of ammunition will be consumed, or even more.
There will probably never be sharpshooters among the survivors, but they already understand how to use weapons, and will not forget to open the insurance in panic, and they also know a series of actions such as changing magazines and loading. Zombies of "1" and "-1" levels are slow, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters... The old man and women will not actively attack the huge corpse group, and Su Hao has never had such crazy thoughts. He only needs these people to protect themselves when the crisis comes.
Zombies have been patrolling the trap courtyard. The work of hunting stolen hormones and silver bones was gradually completed by the Han sisters and Li Xiaomei. At first, they were very resistant and disgusted. Su Hao equipped them with bulletproof vests and helmets, and Tao Yuan and the old man also demonstrated the same movements dozens of times. Amid the encouragement and scolding, under the demonstration of all men, they finally raised their axes tremblingly, gritted their teeth, and widened their eyes, like a hideous witch in a fairy tale, roaring and chopping off the zombie arms that stretched out from the iron cage.
"You must learn how to use weapons. Not just guns, but daggers and sticks, and all objects that can cause damage to your opponent. This is not cruelty, but self-protection. No one knows what kind of changes will happen in the future. Maybe one day, you must take on the responsibility of protecting your loved ones. Yes, rotten flesh, smelly bones, brains and eyeballs... These things do seem disgusting, but they will not pose any threat. What you have to do is to abandon the useless logic of beauty and ugliness, try your best to kill every monster and smash their heads."
Everyone has their first time.
When he waved the steel axe with his trembling hands and slashed the zombie's head hard, Li Xiaomei felt nauseous and vomited a semi-digested substance mixed with milky and soft rice grains.
Han Jing was not strong enough, and the axe blade stuck on the zombie's head. The irritated zombie became more and more violent. It stretched out its hands through the iron cage and howled like a hungry beast. Han Jing, at a loss, felt his body soft and he collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
Han Ying obviously learned a lesson from her sister. She swung the axe extremely fiercely and used all her strength to slash it down, but she did not pay attention to accuracy. The landing point shifted to the left neck of the zombie. A large ball of pus and blood immediately spurted out from the ruptured blood vessel, splashing through the girl's whole body. She stood there blankly, her face pale. After several minutes, she screamed desperately with all her strength.
Su Hao has been teaching them how to fight.
In addition to the axes and hunting knives, there were also sharpened steel bars at the front and baseball bats brought back from the sports shop. Looking at the zombies that were cut into pieces in the yard, the women gradually overcame their initial fears. The flesh and bones, which were once extremely disgusting, became accustomed to them. They began to try, while ensuring safety, tremblingly pressed the back of the zombie with their hands, injected solutions with the help of the man next to them, extracted rot hormones, split their buttocks and cut off the silver bones... Finally, they put the broken corpse on a cart and dumped them like garbage.
It's not so much a habit, but a numbness.
They have learned how to survive in this terrible world.
Every night, survivors gather in the small building.
People who go to the wild for live-fire training will bring back some fresh wild vegetables and vegetables such as celery, bracken, beans, chili and other things. These things are common in suburban fields and are also popular with survivors' kitchens.
Those who collect supplies in the city will bring back various daily necessities and a large amount of food that is still under the shelf life.
As for the calcification hormones, there are already a lot of reserves in the underground vault, but Su Hao still feels that it is not enough.
The old man pulled out the shrubs in the green belt downstairs, the soil was carefully cleaned up, and some tomatoes and green vegetables were planted, but they had not sprouted yet.
They are all trying to adapt to this chaotic and disorderly world.
To be precise, it is in life.
......
It had just rained in the morning.
The ground was very wet, with water everywhere in the grooves and dents, and the fallen leaves were still green and green. The sunlight shone down from the gaps in the treetops, and the water droplets at the edges of the leaves showed a brilliant and colorful color. In the distance, even vaguely identifiable birds were chirping.
The smell of blood over the city has faded. This must be attributed to the rainfall at night. Zombies still exist. Compared with the early stages of the virus outbreak, the number of living creatures in the city has also decreased greatly, and they feel more and more hungry and crazy.
Su Hao drove the car and drove up the main road from the fork next to the small building.
Xinyan and Han Ying sat in the back seat, watching the buildings and movements along the way. They both held thick and heavy threaded steel bars in their hands, and had pistols inserted in their waists or belts. The two girls were similar in age and were already familiar with each other. Even when they were nervous, they would always whisper and talk about topics of interest, and burst into laughter from time to time.
The car turned right at the intersection and drove at a constant speed on the empty street. Half an hour later, it stopped in front of a "Dell" computer store.
The three of them took their weapons and walked out of the car, quickly forming a warning in different positions. They were already very skilled in these movements and understood what their companions and themselves should do at this time.
Su Hao stood on the wet sidewalk and stared at the store for a long time.
The doors of the glass shop are open, and red cloth marks of "festive offers" are hung crookedly on the eaves. The terrazzo floor was blown into many leaves and garbage by the wind. There are scattered paper, small plastic milk cans and beverage bottles, and there are a few bloody handprints on the tempered glass walls on the adjacent street. Because time has passed too long, they look black and no longer bright red.
Su Hao picked up the steel bars, walked to the store door, and shouted to the display stand where the computer was placed: "Is anyone?"
What answered him was the rustling wind among the treetops outside.
He bent down and picked up an empty "Coca-Cola" can, and threw it behind the shelf that blocked his sight. The "Dingling Dang" hit sounded abrupt and harsh. This deliberately created noise without any aesthetics did indeed achieve the effect————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Su Hao turned around and winked at Han Ying, who was standing next to the off-road vehicle. The girl ran forward knowingly, held the steel bars in her hand tightly, aimed the sharpened front end at the left eye socket of the zombie, and poked it hard.
She has learned how to deal with this monster and has enough courage. What she lacks is just experience.
It is very safe to prepare rot hormones in the trap yard. Su Hao does not want to take risks elsewhere, and also minimizes unnecessary risk factors.
He chose two laptops with good performance, as well as various accessories, put them in his bag, and then left.
Su Hao was very curious———What secret does the USB drive that was loaded with the prototype potion record?
......
The "Carrefour" logo washed by rain is very clean and can be seen clearly a hundred meters away.
Close the car door and lock it with the key. Su Hao and the two girls following him walked onto the sidewalk, pushed open the door of the "KFC" street on the first floor, and entered the supermarket from another direction.
The shops near the bank office have basically been emptied. If you want to get more things, you have to go farther. After all, the goods in large supermarkets are more complete and the quantity is also greater.
Sixteen days have passed since the outbreak of the virus.
The meat on the cold fresh shelves had already rotted and emitted a strong odor. The fish in the tank raised their bulging abdomen, turned their white belly, scales scattered, and a thin layer of brown pus gathered on the water surface.
Chapter completed!
